7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Area= length x width

area=6/7, length=3/5, width=?

6/7=3/5 x width

6/7 divided by 3/5= 6/7 x 5/3 (you have to multiply by the recipricol, or flip the fraction.)

6/7 x 5/3=30/21= 1 3/7=width

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

Beam stick out = 2.09 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length of wooden beam = 12 ft

Side of bed = 5.5 ft by 8 ft by 2 ft

Find:

Length of wooden beam needed.

Computation:

$Length\ of \ diagonal = \sqrt{a^2+ b^+ c^} \\\\\\ Length\ of\ diagonal = \sqrt{5.5^2+ 8^2+ 2^2}\\\\ Length\ of\ diagonal = \sqrt{30.25+64+4}\\\\Length\ of\ diagonal = \sqrt{98.25}\\\\Length\ of\ diagonal = \sqrt{30.25+64+4}\\\\Length\ of\ diagonal = 9.91$
